How to properly check if files are readable

Opening and reading files may cause your program to block indefinitely, which is a major problem for configuration management tools like CFEngine. What if we make a program that can check if these file operations would block indefinitely, before using them? Unfortunately our good friend Alan Turing proved that such programs are not theoretically possible.

Elastic Observability: Built for open technologies like Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Istio, and more

Trace at Your Own Pace: Three Easy Ways to Get Started with Distributed Tracing

Stepping through a trace is an invaluable debugging workflow, providing a way to follow requests from service to service even as the applications we manage become more complex and distributed. That same complexity can make getting started with distributed tracing feel overwhelming, but it’s important to remember that instrumenting your code is an additive process—you don’t need to boil the ocean. A trace through a thousand services starts with a single ID.
